The CDC says Mexico is unsafe for travel. Which is funny because the state department has been saying the same thing for years for some reason. Perhaps the EPA will chime in next?
Mexico is officially in a recession, which means the US is probably achieved the distinction six months ago. They just redefined “recession”.
A delightful op-ed making the case the recently elected communists in Central America are no threat to US interests because they’re aligned with Team Brandon policies…unlike those other communists.
Secondly, many of the progressives riding this anti-incumbent tsunami are pragmatic centrists who disfavor the timeworn, anti-imperialist rhetoric that burns bridges between the United States and its neighbors. The region’s most influential leftist, Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador, has taken only two foreign trips as president, both to the United States. In Argentina, allies of President Alberto Fernández refer warmly to the U.S. president as “Juan Domingo Biden,” after the founder of Peronism, Juan Domingo Perón
[…]
In many ways, the region’s social democrats are natural allies of Washington. Their platforms sound remarkably similar to U.S. President Joe Biden’s priorities: expanding access to social services, more equitable taxation, women’s rights, climate leadership, and multilateralism in foreign affairs. For the United States, opportunities abound for building issue-by-issue coalitions.
You heard it from Foreign Policy magazine, Brandon is a communist…or a fascist since Perón was a fascist depending on who you asked.

expanding access to social services, more equitable taxation, women’s rights, climate leadership
IOW, higher taxes, higher taxes, higher taxes and diminuation of 1A, 2A, and 4A rights, higher taxes and diminished property rights and consumer choice.
You forgot to mention the higher taxes.
Right, the taxes.
The finger thing means the taxes!
Speaking of taxes. The NZ government is going to build a $1billion dollar light-rail system in Auckland. One of the ways they’re going to pay for it is to levy “contributions” from businesses that benefit “substantially” for the line. So, if you don’t want the line running near your business, tough shit and, oh, we may tax you for it as well.

A string of victories for progressives in Latin America has generated some anxiety in Washington, stoking fears of depleting U.S. power and rising Chinese influence. Since 2018, left-of-center candidates have won presidential elections in Argentina, Bolivia, Chile, Mexico, and Peru, and leftists lead in the polls in this year’s campaigns in Brazil and Colombia.
It would be premature for Washington to sound the alarm, however.
They’re birds of a feather. Washington won’t sound the alarm.

“Over the past several days, I have heard the pain and outrage of so many at Georgetown Law, and particularly from our Black female students, staff, alumni, and faculty,” Bill Treanor, the dean of the Georgetown University Law Center, said in a statement.
“Ilya Shapiro’s tweets are antithetical to the work that we do here every day to build inclusion, belonging, and respect for diversity,” Treanor added.
In a now-deleted tweet, Shapiro had suggested that Biden nominate Sri Srinivasan, the Indian-born chief judge on the Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia, to replace Justice Stephen Breyer on the U.S. Supreme Court:
…
After receiving backlash for his tweets, Shapiro deleted them, writing, “I apologize. I meant no offense, but it was an inartful tweet. I have taken it down.”
Let them eat their own.
Shapiro is a CATO-affiliated scholar.
Like I said.
Heh.

I think the message from the Biden admin is that no Asians need apply. If Team Elephant was wise they’d make campaign ads targeted to Asians and Hispanics about how they were specifically excluded from consideration due to being the wrong race or ethnicity.

People on Twitter were trying to say that there were only a couple hundred truckers in the convoy. in that video looks like there are a lot more.
Rebel News is crowdfunding for lawyers for the truckers blocking the border crossing at Coutts, Alberta.
I just got a phone call from the truckers at the Alberta-Montana border crossing.
SWAT teams have sealed off the men and set up police checkpoints around the town. It’s a stand-off.
The truckers put me on a speaker phone — I spoke with their council and they told me they need our help.
They know we crowdfund lawyers to help people just like them. People who are being punished by the lockdowns and by vaccine mandates. People who can’t afford to hire lawyers on their own.
They asked me if we could help them right now. And I said, “of course”. I promised them we’d crowdfund a lawyer to fight any tickets or charges they face, no matter how large they may get.
“How’d you do that? It was too much for me.”
Sorry – “too much foe

A new report states that the Biden administration’s Food and Drug Administration is pushing Pfizer and its partner, BioNTech to request emergency-use authorization for a vaccine for children as young as six months.
“Pfizer and its partner, BioNTech, the manufacturers of the vaccine, are expected to submit to the Food and Drug Administration as early as Tuesday a request for emergency-use authorization for the vaccine for children 6 months to 5 years old, which would make it the first vaccine available for that age group. Older children already can receive the shot,” The Washington Post reported, adding, “The FDA urged the companies to submit the application so that regulators could begin reviewing the two-shot data, according to the knowledgeable individuals, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak publicly.”
Pfizer spokeswoman Jerica Pitts stated, “At this time, we have not filed a submission and we’re continuing to collect and analyze data from both two and three doses in our younger age cohort.”
In other words, the FDA is getting political pressure from the administration.
So much pressure that it’s moving too fast for Pfizer to cook the data.
They hate you and want you dead.
Who are the desperate people that offer up their children for a disease that potentially won’t affect them for another 60 years?
Cultists.
And for which the vaccine will have zero efficacy by then.
It’s got zero efficacy now.
My teen son, who I think is getting pressure from his girlfriend was asking for me to take him and get his vaccine. We have always made it their choice with their ability to explain what research they have sought and found and have they developed their own opinion on it. One piece of fact I presented him was the 453 COVID positive confirmed cases just in the Western states in the FAA facilities that are all ‘fully vaccinated’. I then show him the 4 unvaccinated probable cases we have. The government doesn’t even care if you don’t test or anything if you are unvaccinated, they are going to assume you are positive.
He sorta kinda got it after that.
That’s a tough one. Teenage me might not have been able to resist the temptress.
This is true….no sex unless vaccinated is an easier line to cross than no pay unless vaccinated.
I might it put it to him this way.
“Ask her if she’s going to stick by you if you get myocarditis and can’t get it up anymore.”
Son, how much is she putting out?
That’s the only math that matters in this equation.
Teenagers will do *anything* to get laid.
Anything.
See, it’s an emergency because Pfizer needs to get their hooks into that pipeline of cash before their competitors do.
Pfizer wants on the childhood vaccine schedule and the permanent liability protection it comes with.
Makes sense. Right now based on the data they should be re-evaluating the vaccines to determine if they should even keep making them. But instead we get a full-court press because if they don’t lock this in now, 6 months to a year from now things are going to look very different.
The public health emergency can’t last forever. When that ends, so does their current protection.
In fact, this may be a signal that the Biden admin wants to end it, but won’t or can’t until they’ve made sure all their cronies are properly covered so they don’t blow the whistle on the corruption.
I remember reading when this stupidity was still over the horizon, that we have never made a successful vaccine for a respiratory corona virus.
Seems like if they were concerned with data, they would have admitted this from day 1.
Panicked people. It’s the same impulse that led people to offer up their (much older) children to be enslaved to fight the governments’ wars back when we had a draft.

I have also seen reports that the tow truck drivers who would be contracted to remove the convoy trucks from Ottawa are reporting that they have COVID and so cannot, by the government’s own rules, go to work.

The Hershey Company has begun firing office workers who did not get vaccinated against COVID-19. On the way out the door, Hershey is asking employees to sign a nine-page confidentiality and release agreement that would remove their rights to sue the company or talk about their experience.
Although their signature comes with a “special separation payment,” many have not signed the agreement and won’t get the money. Employees say the payment was determined by an algorithm and for some, amounted to just over two months’ pay.
Fuck off
Im sorry, you are firing me, you can fuck right off and I will talk to anyone and everyone. Unless you are paying me my future potential earnings in severance.
That seems like the lawyers are pissed the company is moving forward with it and they are doing their best to CYA the assets when people start to sue them to the ground.
Nine pages? hahahahah, if they need 9 pages, they probably can’t enforce it. Two months’ salary isn’t nothing, but if you’re making a principled stand to lose your job over a mandate, I’d hope you have at least that much saved up in your contingency fund.
Meanwhile, several people were told that the pope is vaccinated, and that he says the greatest gift you can give your community is to be vaccinated as well.

But only their corporate, non public facing employees
While office workers must be vaccinated or face dismissal, employees working in food production and Chocolate World, the company’s retail outlet stores, are encouraged but not required to get the vaccination.
Come on Hershey, do you believe in compulsory covid vaccinations or not?
There is no compulsion. You can voluntarily vaccinate or you can quit.
And form your own chocolate factory.
You don’t say!
So the office workers with no contact with the public, must vax.
The public workers, or those handling product to go out in the world, no vax.
Makes complete sense…
Gee, given that they know who they’d lose, you don’t think this could be selective self termination by any chance?
Oompah-Loompahs are naturally immune.
Or just expendable.
I wonder if the latter groups are unionized.
The latter groups are probably more resistant, more essential, and harder to replace given the worker shortage.
So… bullshit platitudes and grifting?
Dementia-addled nonsense.
Took the fam to Mexico again last year and may do so again this year as I love the East Cape so very much. The one big negative was that Presidementia put in that testing requirement to be allowed back in the land of the free. Even in the small town we stayed near it was super simple, but it still is an added stress that if one of us fails it or pops a false positive all of a sudden the trip would take a bad turn at the end. We are just about to cancel a trip to Hawaii due to their fucked up Vid hysteria. We may be spending our vacation dollar in free Florida.
BTW, if you decide on the Florida option, give Crystal River a good hard look. Snorkeling with manatees is something everyone should do once in their lifetimes, and the inshore fishing in the area is outstanding. Nearby Weeki Wachee (a venerable Florida tourist attraction that’s now a state park) is worth an afternoon, too. Waterfront houses in the area can be had for around $200 / night.
*Lights Tres Cool Signal*
*chuckle*
Thanks Shpip! Appreciate the helpful tips about it. We will makenitnthere sooner or later as it checks a lot of boxes for us (including fishing for me!) I may be emailing you if we decide to do it in April. At this point I can’t go to Hawaii with the crap they just pulled.
If you are looking for the manatees, find out when they are usually there. I stopped at Crystal River in March one year and the ranger said all the manatees had already left for the season.
Yep. Manatees don’t stay in that place all year.
Just curious, what’s the issue with Hawaii? Is it that you are not “up to date”, or is it the cost of the tests? When we got our tests to go to Tahiti, they were free of charge. To us anyway. Well, free to us directly, anyway.
My boss went to Hawaii on business and took his wife.
She was unjabbed, but took a test at the Portsmouth Naval Hospital. Hawaii said that didn’t meet their criteria for a negative test, because the Naval Hospital wasn’t on the approved list. Therefore she was not allowed to leave the room.
The hotel wouldn’t give them a room key and every time he left, they checked the camera to make sure she wasn’t in the car.
Fuck those Nazi assholes.
OFFS!!!
Both the wife and I are now considered unclean in Hawaii as they just changed the rule to require a booster. So we can’t eat inside a restaurant. Also they want all five of us to get tested before we leave and it has to be through their “trusted partner” which costs 118 each. They also want some kind of tracking app installed on your smartphone. I can’t even.
Is it the AlohaSafe Alert App? Is it required? It looks to me like it’s voluntary.
For our testing we used City Health, which was free to us. I think the insurance companies still have to pick up the tab. It looks like they have a site in SF.
My wife wants to go to Hawaii this year, but since we were just on a tropical island I’m not in a hurry to go to another one. There are other places I’d rather go. We are also unclean, or “not up to date” in Newspeak.
Id have to see if our insurance would reimburse us for the test cost. It wasn’t even about the money so much as the general feeling that we would be traveling to a place that doesn’t want travelers and going from a COVID hysterical place to a more hysterical place. We bought the tickets embaça in October when they were very cheap, luckily they are refundable.
You might want to consider Tahiti. Our flights were pretty cheap. Testing requirements are about the same as Hawaii. We needed a negative test 3 days prior to leaving. They test again on arrival at their expense. We needed another test on the way back to satisfy the US, but the test was only $15. One family with us had kids who weren’t vaccinated. The kids had to take an extra test a few days after arrival, but it was cheap. No app to download. People did wear masks indoors, but I went along, because when in Rome. Nobody had that look of fear when walking by someone who was unmasked. I’m sure you know the look.
I see that look almost everyday Jaime. I will absolutely get over to there, probably just wait till after the Vid hysteria subsides.
Looks like the truckers at the border crossing are about to get the Mounties boot.
As discussed in last thread, they can’t back down unless they want to end up like our Jan 6 “insurrectionists”.
Second blockade set up
CTV News’ Bill Fortier reported that, as some vehicles from the initial blockade left the area, passenger vehicles and what appeared to be farm vehicles started to arrive and create a secondary blockade. Reporters and cameras observing the situation were moved further back from the area.
Excellent.
Well, looky here: Canadian farmers break through line to assist truckers at Alberta-Montana border.
God Bless those folks.
Circling the capital and honking/refusing to deliver goods is one thing (that I fully support), shutting down roads is another, it wasn’t cool when BLM did it, it ain’t cool now.
Looks like it was the cops blocking the road. Just sayin.
“You are correct, sir!” /end Ed McMahon mode
Is this two different things? I thought the truckers were blocking the border, and as Degs post seems to imply the cops were breaking that up and now the farmers are helping the trucker keep the border blocked. I admit its confusing, why would one set up a barricade to stop a blockade? but I’m 8 Strohs and 1 Laphroaig in so I may not be thinking clearly.

Drone, cops with rifles, spike strips, and they still fuck up by the numbers. The lesson here is that millions for gear while cutting back on training is a false economy.
ETA: I don’t really give a fuck if the cops learn this lesson, but I hope that everyone else does…
Thanks for that trucker link, MS. A bright spot in an otherwise retarded landscape
Also, Trudy is a fuckhead.
At what point does the Canadian Parliament file a Motion of no Confidence?
Meaningless, since the NDP (the Dippers) are essentially in bed with the Liberals, not to mention the Parti Quebecois. As long as those two get to wet their beaks, they’ll vote with the Liberals all. day. long.
There’s infighting in the opposition party.

In 1950, the population of Detroit was 1.85 million. Now, it’s about 670,000.
This is what happens when you let people take the midnight train going anywhere.

Every new surge of the coronavirus sends the family into chaos, escalating the parents’ fears that their boys might get infected. They are forced to limit all but essential social contact. Doctors have warned that the incredibly rare neurological disease (there are fewer than 30 known cases worldwide) puts the boys at higher risk — and their parents now dread a future riddled with variants.
——-
Even after the omicron surge ends, COVID-19 will still be with us, and learning to live with it will be a challenge for everyone.
But that challenge will be especially difficult for the roughly 7 million immunocompromised Americans who remain especially vulnerable and will have to keep their guard up much higher than the rest of us.
Among them is Sassy Outwater-Wright. Her 39-year-old body is also very fragile. Right when COVID-19 hit in the spring of 2020, the Berkeley, Calif., resident started feeling an agonizing pain in her head and face. Doctors discovered a very aggressive soft-tissue cancer creeping toward her brain. Radiation and chemotherapy treatment wiped out her white blood cells and therefore her immune system.
Leaving the house, let alone taking an Uber to and from the hospital for screenings and checkups, was and still is terrifying for her. Public transportation is still out of the question.
Outwater-Wright has fought cancer her entire life. When she was a baby, a rare cancer attacked her eyes, leaving her blind.
Not everybody makes it. But don’t let that stop you from trying to enslave the entire population in an attempt to prolong your feeble misery.

This is an Associated Press headline that’s been on a local news website all day:
“Long COVID: Why does it happen? Who does it normally effect?”
Is that like Long Pork? I heard that it was tasty in BBQ sauce.
NARRATOR: Long Covid is not real.
Wong has been pushing for additional funds to pay for more delivery services to administer boosters and get masks and test kits to people who can’t leave their homes. She is also advocating for stricter vaccine mandates, extended paid sick leave and free personal protective equipment for home health care workers and employees of long-term care facilities.
Wong says it’s hard to see small glimmers of access — like online events, priority shopping hours, curbside pickup and even flexible work schedules — slowly receding. It’s exhausting, she says, defending one’s very existence at a time when being immunocompromised has never been more terrifying.
Hurry up and die, you fucking parasite.
free personal protective equipment for home health care workers and employees of long-term care facilities
Uh, unless it’s an accepted trade practice and baked into the wages, why wouldn’t your employer provide necessary specialized equipment or tools like ppe?

I find it ironic that one of Trudeau’s insults were that they are a minority, when he literally leads a minority government that got the second most popular votes in the last election. His party has the support of only a third of the voters, yet he’s claiming to speak for all Canada.
I loved *sarc* the “unacceptable views” line. Justin, you’re not supposed to say things like that out loud.
Yeah, he’s definitely showing a lot of hubris for a man who has fled his own capital.
A leader who flees the capital during a crises has abdicated.
A parliament of truckers would probably be an improvement over their current parliament.
That’s only for third world countries whose leaders have billions stashed outside the country.

Not sure what to make of that.
At a minimum it seems to confirm that those under 25 are at no risk.
They ought to project what it would’ve looked like in 2022 following the original trend. Because clearly the number of deaths is going up each year and should.
Those 2021 numbers are in line with the 2020 numbers from the CDC that I did an article about. Anomalous increase in deaths in the younger age ranges that was not attributed to COVID. I suspect that the pandemic restrictions led to self-destructive behavior in a lot of people. The article you linked raises the issue of potential vaccine side effects, supported by the increase in deaths due to circulatory disease, which could indeed be a contributing factor, but the fact that the increase in deaths started in March 2020 (well before the vaccines were available but right when the lock-downs started) indicates to me that the main culprit is the change in social behavior.
Yeah that’s what I was thinking. If anything it was worse in 2020.
Possibly more attributable to lockdowns and social insanity.
American apologist
The outburst was seen as so out of character for Canada that one U.S. scientist felt compelled to apologize for what he portrayed as America’s influence.
“Canada gave us kindness, tolerance, poutine and hockey, and in turn we exported this awful fake health freedom movement linked to far right extremism that caused so much senseless loss of life in America and now might do the same there,” tweeted Dr. Peter Hotez, an infectious-disease specialist at the Baylor College of Medicine in Texas. “Our apologies.”
Cancel AmeriKKKa!
L O fucking L
Fake health freedom. Rip that mask off of your deep desire to cradle to grave tyranny. Fuck off.
If far right extremist views in things like freedom cost lives, it should be real easy to show that with some actual data. You should of course be able to prove that the restrictive policies of blue states had a positive impact and that if more widely implemented, would have saved all these lives. It should be easy and indisputable.
Fuckin’ Associated Press. What a useless pile of steaming, putrescent goat tripe.
The numbers they’ve put together don’t look all that fringe to me. And I find it odd that I’ve yet to actually see a picture of all these swastikas making their way about.
One person with the flag. Others showed thr memorial and there was no damage at all.
There was precisely *one* swastika flag, carried by a guy who was masked. But of course, all the tens of thousands of truckers in Ottawa were *totally* represented by and responsible for the swastika flag.
And then there’s all the other alleged activities (like desecrating the Terry Fox memorial) that have absolutely zero proof that they even happened.
Y’know, ’cause that’s what *truckers* do.
Well, I mean, it’s obvious to everyone that fascists are anti-mandates.
It’s Aboot, get with the program!
Shut the fuck up, Yusef.
There is only so many subversive plants to go around. As a reporter, You have to wait until the subversive agents call you for that photo op. Otherwise it’s like finding a needle in a haystack.
Hotez has been full bore on the mandates.
If he thinks he’s seen the worst we have to offer, I suggest he try to give my kids the clot shot. I’ll show him the worst.
Peter Hotez is a scumbag even by the minimal standards of the public health industry.
???
Fake health freedom. Yeah, I definitely do not see packs of 3-4 year olds being led out of their daycare centers on walks everyday with fucking masks on their faces because of people like that health fuck.
How to Noble Savage a Canuck.
I think I’m going to have to ditch Brave. There’s some sort of obnoxious glitch where when I scroll, the screen often splits horizontally. Especially common on pages with videos or that are media intensive. Doesn’t happen on Edge or anywhere outside Brave.
That’s a first.
No First has ever been a problem. You people completely misuse the word. It’s like taking The Great Firster’s name in vain.
You mean where a giant self-playing video covers half the screen? That happens far too often. I have that occur with Safari too.
No. The screen splits and if you keep scrolling, will split repeatedly and you can’t click on anything or do anything. You have to keep scrolling past to break it. It’ll be like the screen split 12 times all of the top taskbar. Hard to explain.
There’s certain videos I just can’t watch because it does this.
